Message: <blockquote data-quote="FaninColorado" data-source="post: 803694" data-attributes="member: 12287">We need to succeed on both fronts this offseason... need to sign FA's that are going to help this team out. Someone said earlier that we need to get at least 2 starters out of FA. I'd almost say we need at least 4 starters from the off-season. Of course that could also come from in house (for example: resigning Muhammad Wilkerson). Believing the old TT style is going to work is just outdated. Yes, you have to draft well, but NFL teams must use free agency as a way to improve their starting lineup and depth.Might be smart to not go after an edge rusher in FA, but truly we need to get 2 new ones... One thru FA and one thru the draft is desirable or we will have to make a huge financial commitment in the future to both players when their rookie contracts are coming up. We need to get a veteran safety in here. We are already extremely young in the secondary and we need leadership badly. Earl Thomas is coming off a major injury, but he would be ideal.  Most likely it would cost us somewhere between 8-10M/yr to get him, but would help out the entire secondary. We also can find a starting RG in FA as well (maybe Cole Madison coming back next year could help too)... guards aren't overly expensive and can be found fairly easily. Who would bring back from the current team that is becoming a free agent? Wilkerson, Breeland, Cobb, CM3, others?1. Edge (Fowler or Clowney should be here next year... both are going to get around 13-15M/yr.)2. Safety (Thomas 1st, 2nd, and 3rd before you go after say a Mathieu or other)3. RG If we are able to make an impact in free agency, it will allow Gute the luxury of taking best players available at the draft selection we are at or make trades. Those first 6 draft picks this year are going to be so important to the future of this team. There are some definite impact players in positions that we need major help at. Trading up is a possibility but with so many spots needing help... I'm hoping that we don't trade up. There are a couple players that should be drafted immediately if they fall to us, but of course there probably were a few last year that we thought had that designation (Derwin James, Tremaine Edmunds). It is really early to be picking hopefuls, but who would choose if they dropped down to us? 1. Edge 2. OT3. OG4. Both Safeties5. #2 WR6. TE</blockquote>
